Celtic remain top of the Cinch Premiership after the result in Govan earlier this evening. Philippe Clement’s side played their long-held game in hand against Ross County and knew that three clear goals would take them to the top of the table on goal difference.
Celtic face Kilmarnock on Saturday and with the chance to put pressure on Rangers, who play at St Johnstone on Sunday, by producing a statement win against Derek McInnes’ team. The Ayrshire side have beaten Celtic twice at Rugby Park this season; however, Brendan will be keen to make sure his side show their supremacy at Paradise on Saturday.
Rangers had the chance to go top of the table for the second time this month but, as they did against Aberdeen, they were unable to do it. It will likely worry that Rangers supporters that they cannot take advantage of the opportunities to put serious pressure on Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Celtic have been far from their best but have been grinding results out. The rhetoric around the club has been exaggerated, suggesting that they are miles of their city rivals. In nine, Celtic have eight wins and one draw, which is a good record. Now, the performances need to stack up and the team need to get the fans onside for what is set to be a title race.
